From the Bitter Root Vallev.

James Mccormick who went out with
Silcott and others last spring to hunt for
VIM. Rhodes and party, came in on
Monday from the mountains. He left
Tom Beall at Weippe, who will be here
in few days. After finding Rhodes
and buryiug him he visited Missoula
city, and there met Alph Beall, who was
there in the employ Of the N. p, as
engineer in running a line up the Bitter
Root valley. He then, in company with
Tom Bcall, went into the Bitter Root
mountains prospecting for quartz. He
visited the Curfew lode IN the edge of the
valley abou. eleven miles above where
the Lo Lo Of the Bitter Root enters the
valley, and he showed us some quartz
from the lode that was taken about 100
feet from the surface, and is claimed to
yield from 81 800 to $1,000 per ton,
one half of which claim has recently been
sold to the governor Of Montana for
$1,000 cash up. 1t is fine specimen
Of silver ore, Another specimen taken
from the surface at a different point on
the vein, which yields at the rate Of
$500 per ton. They found much ore
on the route prospected, but none that
induced them to stay and mine this
winter. Mccormick thinks he may go
back another season. He was shown the
entrance of the Beall low pass in the
summit of tho Bitter Root mountains
aud conversed with an old Indian hunter
whom he knew well, who has often beer
through the pass years ago and says it il
the lowest pass in the mountains, AND
leads out into the valley of the Selwa
fork Of the Clearwater, and is the lowest
shortest and best route from Lapwai t
the Bitter Root valley, and was LON
travelled by the Indians when going an
returning to and from the Buffal
country.

The Ordinance to Keep Stock of the
Street.

A petition was circulated asking the
city council to repeal or greatly modify
the ordinance passed short time ago
relating to stock running at large on the
streets of Lewiston, and also another pro-
teating against the repeal. Both were
extensively signed and both were pre-
sented to the council on Monday evening.
An unusually large number Of citizens
were in attendance as spectators. On
motion of Councilman Nudge, seconded
by Alexander, both petitions were tabled.
There were many good citizens on
each petition, and we have no doubt that
each one who signed these documents
deemed that he was acting the part Of a
good citizen in SO doing. How far the
self intesest Of each one, instead of the
welfare and good order Of the city in
fuenced these signatures, it is not for us
to determine. 1t would seem that the
majority Of the council either regarded
that the ordinance was working good
to the city, or that it had not been tried
long enough to determine either its good
| or evil, so they concluded to test 1t fur
Their and made no change. They Ger
tainly had not been able to SEQ its evil
effects to induce them, after so short ,
test, to suddenly turn round and undo
what they had done in good faith. They
could not change color 50 quick with
proper cause.

Breaking BaIky Horses.

A correspondent OF the Allentown
(Pcnl.) Nea0s, D. N. Kern, of Sinners
vile, writes: Some time ago, while
driving througa Lehigh county, / met a
man who had very balky horse. / have
been so lucky that I have never had a
balky horse, but if had one | would
know half dozen ways how to STAR
hum
First Pat the horse on the neck, ex-
amino him carefully, first one SIDE, then
the other; if you can get handful of
grass give it to him, and spe K encour-
agingly to him. Then jump into the
wagon and give the word 50, and he
will generally obey.
Second Taking the horse out of the
shafts and turning him around in cir
Gle until he is giddy will generally start
start him.
Third Another way to cure a balky
horse is, place your hand over his nose
and shut off his wind until he wants
to 60.
Fourth Then, again, take couple of
turns of stout Irvine around the fore legs
just below the knee, tight enough Tor
the horse to feel it: tie in bow knot; at
thefrst click be will probably go dancing
off. After going short di lance you
can get out and remove the string, to
prevent injury to the tendons.
Fifth Again, you can try the fol-
lowing: Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs, and tie it by q }rd
to the saddle girth.
Sixth The last remedy / know isas
follows: Tie sting around the horses
ear. close to the head; this will divert
his attention and start him.

Insectirorous Plants.

Few plants in the vegetable kingdom
are 50 interesting and attractive SIS mem
bers Of the nepenthes genus the insect
citing plants. They are natives Of Bor-
neo, Snmatra and adjacent islands Of the
Indian Archipelago. They have lately
been extensively cultivated at Rose Hill,
New Rochelle. where remarkable col
lection of pitchers may be seen swinging
from the roofs and posts of conservatories.
The extraordinary appendage to the apex
Of the leaf of the nepenthes has obtained
for it the name Of pitcher plant. Con-
nected with the point of the leaf by the
means Of long, pendant, strap-iike lig-
ament, hangs hollow tube Of the color
and eonsistence of the leaf, shaped much
like an antique vase. This will hold
from gill to a quart of water. Extend
ing over the mouth of this vase, or fire.
quently thrown back, is lid which
never opens until the treacle- like fluid
which exudes from the pitcher is ready
inside to attract the insects that are raw
enous for it.
Around the mouth Of the pitcher is d
hard, shell-like substance, which is,al-
ways mo:steaed with tie sweet, sticky
liquid that is SO enticing but also intox-
icating. Cne sip Of it will canse an in
sect to loose bis balance and fall into the
vase, whichis frequently found half full
Of flies. A peculiar ladder of spines dec
CRATES one side Of the pitcher; up this
bugs without wings climb to quaff the
juice that is their destruction. So;dec-s
oratiye and entertaining are nepenthcs
that they are among the favorite pendant
plants placed in parlor Conservatives
this season. The new seeding NJ Os-
borneanum, is probably the most beauti-
full Of this interesting family. Nc0

David Dayis's Precaution.

Among President Arthur's papers
there is doubtless note which he once
received from David Davis which amused
the General very much. It was brief
and formal letter, but the peculiar thing
about it was that Mr. Davis signed his
name so close to the last line that
nothing could have been written between
the lines. Arthur thought it very un-
conventional signature, especially as, at
hasty glance, it might be over looked.
But he learned that Judge Davis always
signed his name thus to prevent any one
from filling IN anything in the customary
blank space. 1t appeared that when he
was Judge in Illinois suit was brought
before him to test the validity Of note.
The ostensib!e maker admitted that the
signature was his, but sworc he never
trade the note. and it was developed on
mial that some rascal had taken adj
vantage of blank between the termina-
ton Of letter and the signature to fill
in note of hand, which he got dis
counted. The Judge, who was very
cautious man. took q hint from this, and
ever afterward signed his own name so as
to prevent such improper use of it.

Photographing Flying Gnlls.

An example Of the speed with which
pictures can now be produced is afforded
by photograph Of q number Of flying
gulls taken at Southport by local pho
tographer, Mr.. Mallin. or course ami
mails in far more rapid movement have
been photographed BY Mr.. Muybridge ia
America and NJ. Marcy in France, but
these are produced BY special apparatus,
and rarely give much more than SIT
houette Of the object photographed.
The picture Of the gulls was taken un-
der ordinary conditions, and with ordi-
nary apparatus; but tho lens must have
been good one, and very rapid shut
ter must have been employed. The plate
also tone of those named the Derby
plates, from formula invented BY Cap
tain Abney) must have been Of specially
high sensitiveness.
The various attitudes of the birds are
curious. Most of them have the wings
spread in the orthodox manner, but some
Of them are caught in that curious posi-
ton with the wings hanging down
which, from the shortness Of the time
during which it is maintained, they eye
does not appear to catch. About sixty
birds are shown quite sharply and dis
